Pretty close, but Harper has played two full seasons. Puig’s only been at it for four months. Plenty of time to close the gap.

Which team is the most overhyped?

1. Yankees: 44%; 2. Dodgers: 13%; 3. Angels: 12%.

Clearly, this is big-city bias. Also, big payroll.

Who will win the World Series?

1. Cardinals: 19%; 2. Tigers: 18%; 3. Dodgers: 15%.

With the Dodgers, it’s apparently a love-hate thing. Apparently they're not that overhyped.

Some other results: 81% thought MLB was ready for a gay player; 51% think A-Rod should be kicked out of the players' union; and respondents believe 9.4% of players are still using performance-enhancing drugs.
